Fredi Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Ok I was just reading the lyric of Californication of The Red Hot Chili Peppers and it says. Space may be the final frontier But it's made in a Hollywood basement Cobain can you hear the spheres Singing songs off station to station And Alderaan's not far away It's Californication Are we talking of SW? .... http://www.lyrics007.com/Red%20Hot%20Chili%20Peppers%20Lyrics/Californication%20Lyrics.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev7 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I don't listen to their music, but it sounds like it is talking about the Alderann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Which Alderaan? There's actually two of them... The first one got destroyed by the Death Star, the second one was New Alderaan, which came after the first one, and was not destroyed. /nerd moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 You're overlooking the other planets that are undoubtedly in Alderaan's system, not to mention its star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurges-Ahter Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 That's awesome. I never noticed it either. That's got to be something close to my favorite verse of a song ever, given its link to Star Wars AND Nirvana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Must be a different Alderaan. lolz....even I noticed that and I don't really like the Chilli Willies... there's also a Trek and Curt Cobain reference in there... all non sequiturs and devoid of context, the likely result of ingesting much narcotics first born unicorn, hard core, soft porn I rest my case[/Perry Mason] All hail the chillies, making funk comfortable for middle class white people *goes off and listens to his Parliament vinyls* mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 ~ A wise man once told me... It is ridiculous to expect everyone to commit every post in a manner that 100% agreeable, politically correct or even gramatically correct! It's often the posts that are left of field, slightly abrasive or plaintative that reveal most to us about the interesting group of people we are amongst, many of whom have become friends over time. Words to live by, I think. And so I'm not completely off topic, let's end the post with a few words from the good lads of RHCP. "Destruction leads to a very rough road, But it also breeds creation."

Astrotoy7 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Ray, meet your Nemesis: The Full Stop! (aka Period) @Niner et amicis... Using a pretty, classical painting as a desktop is a great idea when you have a nice large display as a monitor. it looks nice to to have such a thing as your deskie >>observe how it wonderfully complements the color of my wall (and the rest of my study which as a similar classical theme) During moths when I am having to write stuff up for work or uni, I spend a bit of time in there, so its nice for it to be pleasing to the eye * * * On topic: Speaking of SW references in popular media, my favourite has to be the entire episode of Law & Order SVU, whose main characters were populated with SW/EU character names Wes Janson Jaina Mara Cal Oman (Cal Omas in SW/EU) I thought I was going nuts as I could never find a mention of it anywhere... but alas, the interwebs saves the day >>> it was Eps 7, Season 3, the episode was called Sacrifice The teleplay writer was obviously an EU fanboy, I wonder if the producers were notified? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MdKnightR Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 It really doesn't surprise me in the least that Red Hot Chili Peppers made that reference in their song. It's done more often that you think. My favorite song that contains such references is by called "A Little Too Far" by Savatage. Here's the particular verse.... And all those things we thought we learned As we watch our bridges burn While standing in the afterglow I guess we gave them quite a show And who's to say what it's about When John Wayne caught the last train out And Spock and Kirk have had enough And no one's left to beam me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 i concur with rayston On topic please, Ray's Scrappy Doo. * * * On Topic: For those of us that watch 30 Rock and Boston Legal(with William Shatner), there is a SW and Trek reference in their pretty much every epsiode(respectively) I dont mind 30Rock, but Boston legal is a bit of a chore, but well worth catching those famous Kirk lines from the man himself. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
